Useful and beautiful
This app is quite useful and beautiful. But if anything, I’d like the top hit word to be shown on top of the candidate list, not in the middle of it. And is there a URL Scheme to be opened from other apps? I need it.

最強の辞書
米国のappstoreでの評価が非常に高く、ずっと買おうか悩んでいたアプリですが、日本での発売を機に日本のストアで購入しました。 まず軽いとか、ジャンプが簡単とかももちろんあるのですが、この最大の利点はネット環境下でwikiやgoogleにアクセスできるという点です。英英辞典ですが、同時に日本のアルクのサイトとかにアクセスできるように設定しておけば和英にもなります。特に私は英辞郎をよく使うので、英語だけで理解が浅い時はこれも使います。 英英辞典は英語の勉強にもなるし、基本はそのまま、和訳する時や理解できないときにそういったサイトにいく。そういう使い方では最強の辞書だとおもいます。
